David Galbraith apparently likes V for Vendetta too and noted this after reading the interview with Alan Moore. I think it pretty much sums up Libertarianism succinctly and without the philosophical sugarcoating and tiptoeing.

On the right Libertarianism is pretty simple - its about gun nuts. But it seems that on the left, Libertarianism is often the choice of former liberals who have made lots of money and choose a cause which allows them to support rights which don’t cost them anything.

For ‘Liberaltarians’, supporting the right to smoke pot doesn’t cost you anything, but causes such as health or education mean you have to pay taxes for hospitals or schools.
